I have an iAudio U3 by Cowon. AFAIK all the players in the iAudio line support Ogg (and some other free formats like Flac); my only complaint about this one is that after only a year and a few months it's starting to break: the headphone jack has been getting flaky (unless I continually shove the connector in I only get one sound channel) and just recently I've been seeing signs that the USB jack might be starting to go (which means I won't be able to load new podcasts and, since it charges over USB, could turn it into a doorstop). I don't know if this is typical of Cowon players or if I just have a bad one. When I decide to replace this I think I'll try something from iRiver (a different company) -- they have a long history of supporting open formats. You can also get a player from another company and install Rockbox, but I would rather buy from a company that supports me up-front when I have the choice.
